State Climate Policy Tracker
In conjunction with a state's GHG reduction targets, the development of a comprehensive Climate Action Plan is essential to any state or municipalities efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Once GHG emissions targets are set, a Climate Action Plan can provide the roadmap or guide to achieving those targets. A comprehensive climate action plan may have several recommendations based on the composition of a state's emissions. There are currently 33 U.S. states that have completed or are in the process of completing a climate action plan. The Climate Policy Program has been tracking the implemenation of completed plans to ensure that actions listed in the plan are actually being taken. The Climate Action Policy Tracker is a working document as many states are continually making progress.
The Climate Policy Program is no longer active at New America. This resource can now be found at seventhgenerationadvisors.org.
